the e-mails I didn't receive...

So, I discovered today that I was not on the e-mail list for Professor Kahn's class (Partnership Tax...the one I'm always "fighting" with material-wise). I never received an e-mail from him and I wrongly assumed that...maybe this professor didn't use e-mail. Little did I know...that this man is an e-mailing machine. He e-mailed the class with so many explanations of what was discussed in class...and other administrative matters such as cutting down on reading...what's on the exam and such. SO SO IMPORTANT. Thankfully, a classmate has forwarded all the e-mails Prof. Kahn sent to the class. Now, I must go read them...out of context. Boo.

How did I figure out that I wasn't in sync with the rest of class?

I raised my hand today when he skipped the material I read and the problems I solved. I was so confused as to why he was skipping the material I spent five hours...(while facebooking, gchatting) learning.

Me: Professor! I do not understand how your syllabus works...I did a lot of the reading...that you're not covering in class...

Prof. Kahn: Ms. Kim, did you not get my e-mails?

Me: No....

Prof. Kahn: (kindly) Too bad! You should check your e-mails!

Me: ...

Prof. Kahn: Come see me after class!

MESSED UP. UNCOOL TO THE MAX. Actually, he was gracious about it...and understood where the problem came from. His secretary had failed to add me...because I added the class late.

Lesson: never assume that your professors over age sixty do not know how to use e-mail. Apparently, they're e-mailing machines. Prof. Kahn sent the class more e-mails than Prof. Logue! (And Prof. Logue...definitely is a spamming type).
